where we could have a pedestrian only area, the outdoor patios are fine, but where we don't have that luxury (because of bus service) we need to get those eyesore patios out

Clean up our rivers, and USE them. A boat ride to Springbank from the forks once more would be nice.

it used to be, not sure since the dams went up but it is something to look at none the less. if no boat, then how about something that works at the TOP of the water surface
A water "taxi" service would be a neat thing to do

nice idea but you have one problem, its known as the thames from top to bottom, so you might have to do that at the provincial level

I am saddened to think that Robby Smink is a part of my community. A community that doesn't care about it's homeless etc, is not a community at all. There are a lot of homeless people that USED to have a home Robby. It was called a mental health institution. They used to help keep people on their medications and give them a safe place to be. But then the government listened to PEOPLE LIKE YOU.....and threw all these people out onto the streets. As a kid I used to come to the core and there weren't many people hanging about. There wasn't much begging either. Try to think instead of spewing your hate for awhile. There are people in this country who DO want to work, who DO want a better life. There are people in London who WANT a nicer apartment but can't afford it. Our rents are SKY HIGH, and despite what you may think, welfare rates are LOW LOW LOW. Someone with a family of 5 gets 730 bucks a month of their check for RENT. PLEASE POINT OUT TO ME THE 3 Bedroom apt they can get for 720 in London. If I was to be like YOU I'd say this.....the reason London has gone downhill is all those DAMNED students and the apartment owners who JACK UP the rent to get their profits from those people. If we didn't have a college and university in this city....perhaps we would have more affordable housing. The amount of money this same family of five gets for food is 500 and some odd dollars. CAN YOU feed a family of five on that? The only crime that family has been accused of is having their job stolen from them by China, and being left out in the cold. Their EI ran out while they were working hard looking for work. Here is another factoid for you. Welfare people don't stay QUALIFIED to get welfare unless they are looking for work 140 HOURS a month. If they fail to turn in their reports they can be cut off. If an income statement gets lost by the welfare office...their check is cut off. Oh I can see why people line up by the thousands to get their "free" handout. Because there is NO incentive to work on this system...oh no. A system that constantly humiliates its users and creates a stigma which is hard to wash away is something I'd always want to have.

AGREED!!! I am so glad there are people like me who think that smoking in the core is a horrible thing. I am FED UP with trying to wait for a bus, and having to go half a block down from the stop so I can actually BREATHE. Smokers CHOOSE to kill themselves, I'm tired of not having an option of whether or not I actually want to inhale second hand smoke. Give us back our CLEAN AIR!!!

To the commenter about the "junk" shops. They are thrift businesses and at least they encourage re-use instead of buying new all the time. As for this thread getting 89 Votes. I am ASHAMED to call myself a Londoner, if this is the kind of attitude people have about people who are trying to survive in this Economic climate.

The welfare office has to stay there, it is the most central location for those on the system to come in to. Obviously "anonymous" has no idea what it is like for those on assistance to have to give up their right to be human in order to beg for money they'd rather not have to beg for. I know lots of people on assistance and they'd much rather have a job TYVM. But London is lacking for jobs these days unless you go back into the school and graduate in what? business.....medicine.....law......computer tech. Not everyone would enjoy these types of jobs. I mean as far as I'm concerned while we're at it we should take every person who thinks that welfare people are bums, and drug addicts and put THEM out of the core. They should have a place where they can go that won't "offend" their delicate sensibilities.

It also provides a COOLING station for those who have no air conditioning in the summer. A safe cool environment is always a nice thing to have.
